'Yavas Yavas' to Erdogan's Advisor

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Yasin Aktay, advisor to President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First
...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important...

’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), wrote a column titled "What’s Biden trying to do in Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage.

’s term, being sensationally brought up on the agenda during Biden’s term does not show that the new US administration is seeking justice," wrote Aktay.

"On the contrary, it is very clear that it wants to use the Khashoggi case against Saudi Arabia as a trump card," he added.

"Our aim in the Khashoggi case, on the other hand, has never been to corner Saudi Arabia in any manner," explained Aktay, but went on to confirm that "the Biden administration is not seeking justice or humanitarian values in the Khashoggi case."

"On the contrary, it wants to use this case as an instrument for its own Middle East policies," he argued, concluding that "due to such approaches, the US is not a convenient authority to seek justice on any grounds in the world."

Aktay’s statements leave readers wondering if they stemmed from strongly held principles, from a logic followed by a country with sense of rationality, or political opportunism.

Given Turkey’s awareness of its involvement in human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations, Aktay’s argument is undoubtedly anchored in political opportunism.

Ankara realized it could be targeted by Washington’s selective practicing of human rights defense. It is hard to believe that the US truly cares for human rights when it continues to reject the international court’s findings on Israeli crimes against Paleostinians and ignores Iranian crimes in the region.

Aktay’s words go to show that Turkey perceives that it is being pursued by Washington’s choosy human rights defense policy. Ankara is also now trying to warm up to La Belle France and Egypt.
